{"product_id":"ks-d700","title":"Organic Tektro Hydraulic\/Mechanical Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D700 disc brake pads are precision-engineered replacements designed for Tektro hydraulic and mechanical disc brake systems, including the Aquila, Io, Gemini, Novela, and compatible 2003+ models. Compact, lightweight, and built for consistent stopping power, these pads are a smart maintenance choice for riders across India who rely on disc-equipped bikes for everything from daily commutes to weekend mountain climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor riders tackling the steep descents of Lonavala, Ooty, or Coorg, brake pad condition is a safety matter, not a minor detail. The KS-D700 pads offer a dependable, direct-fit replacement for Tektro disc systems at an accessible price point. Kool-Stop's compound formulation is well-regarded for maintaining bite in wet and muddy conditions — exactly the kind of riding Indian monsoon season demands on unpredictable roads. A worthwhile, no-fuss upgrade to keep in your maintenance kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pads are not sized by rider weight or build — they are a direct fitment part. Confirm your brake caliper model before ordering: the KS-D700 fits Tektro Aquila, Io, Gemini, and Novela systems from 2003 onwards. If you ride in high-heat conditions — common across Pune, Hyderabad, or Chennai summers — inspect pads regularly for wear, as heat accelerates compound degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Tektro hydraulic and mechanical disc brake calipers including the Aquila, Io, Gemini, and Novela (2003+). Each pair weighs approximately 20g. Store in a cool, dry place away from brake fluid or oil contamination.
